this is one downside of the current "helper" style for dates etc the time helper needs to be manually included in the controller etc (with dependencies inside the helper causing trouble sometimes) so i agree with you that the situation is not perfect right now
i would like the following DRY approach to be used in future cake versions: a "lib" with generic stuff extended or used in components, helpers etc this way you can use it inside a behavior as well the helper will add html markup (extend the functionality for the view) if you already need it that way, why not going down that road? cheers mark On 16 Feb., 17:48, Matthias <[email protected]> wrote: > I built my own helper for converting dates, because I need to deal > with german day names, and now I need the same helper in controllers, > models and views.
